The Mission Statement, or Why am I Here?

I suppose the best way to start this is to begin at the beginning and continue to the end. Hello, my name is Michael Brennock. I am a programmer who went to the Game Developer's Conference this year. It was an amazing experience. If you are a programmer who is remotely interested in game development, I recommend you go. There is nothing like going into a large room full of people who have done amazing things and realizing they are your colleages, not your idols.

I realized that I need to learn more about the many technologies that are used in the industry. To that end, I am starting this blog to commemorate my time spent learning to program specifically for video games. I'm in my final semester of college, so I'll be pretty busy with classes. I still plan to work for at least 5 hours a week on something related to game programming, then post my progress on Saturday. I'll also keep track of languages, tools, and other things that are useful or cool. Speaking of cool technologies, check this out.

That's all for now. Next time, I'll talk about my Microsoft's XNA Game Studios.
